From castles, churches, railways to historical homes, the UK has plenty of Heritage attractions available. Here is just a sample of some great sites worth visiting:
Old Hastings, East Sussex: The battle of Hastings was fought just six miles inland, yet John Logie Baird conducted the first ever television transmission over three yards to Queens Avenue.

Accommodations can be found right in Hastings, in East Sussex, south east of London.
Scarborough, North Yorkshire: Visit Britains First Resort and learn about the natural springs discovered in 1626 by a Mrs. Farrow, who claimed the water from the springs was a remedy for many ailments. This made the borough very popular and caused Scarborough to be named Britain’s first planned resort. While in Scarborough, visitors can also enjoy the older part of town down by the harbour. Scarborough is known as the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire cost, and provides visitors with several great accommodations. Also located in here is the famous Scarborough Castle that was once overtaken by German warships in the first world war.
